The Newest Disney Legends Join the Family
It felt like a family reunion. On October 10, when the 2007 Disney Legends were inducted at the heart of the Disney Studios, there were no paparazzi on the red carpet, and no posh posturing. The crowd was largely composed of Disney Legends - both newly minted and those named in years past - their families, and their colleagues past and present. There was plenty of hugging and laughter as old friends recognized each other across Legends Plaza, where the ceremony was held.
For 20 years, the Disney Legends induction ceremony has been how Disney honors its own - the brilliant, hardworking men and women who have created the magic. This year's inductees include broadcasters and animators, executives, and songsters.

DAVE'S ANSWER
Walt Disney was asked to do a Pepsi Cola/UNICEF pavilion at the New York World's Fair, and he himself had the idea of a "little boat ride" which would feature dolls from all the areas of the world.
